Car parking tickets purchased in any of the MVDC owned car parks are valid and transferable to all car parks in that town or village. E.g. a valid two hour ticket purchased in Ashtead Peace Memorial, could also be used in Grove Road car park.

30 minute free bays

The selected 'free for 30 minute' bays are marked out in green and require a special 30 minute ticket to be displayed. They will be patrolled regularly to reduce overstaying.

Parking in these bays will always require a 30 minutes ticket, which must be clearly displayed in the vehicle

30 minutes tickets can only be used in the designated spaces. They cannot be used and will not be valid in any other car park spaces

Overstaying will not be tolerated as these spaces are being provided to ensure that as many people as possible can benefit from 'popping to the shops'

The 30 minute ticket will only be valid for the car park in which it is purchased and there is no return permitted within one hour

Disabled Parking

The Blue Badge scheme is for drivers or passengers with severe mobility problems and allows them to park on-street close to where they need to go.

Residents who are temporarily disabled, for example awaiting a hip replacement, can apply for a Temporary Disability Permit for a small fee, entitling them to park in MVDC owned car parks free of charge.

Park Mark

Two car parks in Dorking have been awarded Park Mark status. Park Mark is a national scheme developed by the Association of Chief Police Officers which aims to reduce both crime and fear of crime. It also confirms that the car parks are properly managed and maintained.

Car parks are assessed by the police to confirm that they meet these standards. Reigate Road and Pippbrook car parks have both achieved Park Mark status, and MVDC hopes that more will achieve this standard.

Please note, facilities for motorhomes are not provided for in any of MVDC's car parks.
